High threatened with several guillotine choke attempts in the evening’s very first un-televised match, but Brenneman calmly circled out of each hold and used superior wrestling to earn the fight, 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.

High was a rare commodity in the UFC as he entered the organization on the heels of a loss – a stunning head-kick knockout defeat at the hands of Marius Zaromskis at DREAM.10. Still, High owns quality career wins over notables such as James Giboo, Kevin Burns and Andre Galvao.

High also fought at “Affliction: Day of Reckoning,” but he suffered a KO loss to current Strikeforce welterweight contender Jay Hieron at the show.
